take font size into account too nm

Font size should not matter...sm
65 characters per line, if a line is calibrated that way, is 65 characters per line.
Can we change the font size without changing
the appearance of the document font/size when it goes to the client. This is a Word-based program, and I know QA has asked me not to send with View size changed, so it must stay at 150% (or whatever size) when you change it in the document. Thanks for your help.
Work night shift and eyes are tired by the end of the day.
I think it was to control some font size change issues
At least I think I read something about it on the internal company forum. It wasn't affecting my accounts, so I didn't pay much attention, but some people on some accounts were having to reset their font size over and over and the update was supposed to correct that.
Font size matters for gross line, so do margins
less lines because more fits on a line. First person asked how a gross line compares to 65 chars. If it's 12 font with 1 margins, it's about 1-1/2 to 2x 65 char line count, i.e., 7 cents per gross line would be around 8.5 to 9 cents per 65 char.
I keep my font at 100% (not larger), and I also have to

Change your font, gave me a headache

LOL ... I loved switching those little font balls too. sm
I was in Heaven when we got the correcting Selectric -- no more white out, which of course is a major faux pas nowadays. I still have my old IBM Wheelwriter in the closet -- first typewriter with memory that I used and could store reports. I thought I had reached the technological edge then. (smile)
Thanks for making me smile. Although I love my PC, it is kind of fun sometimes to look back and see how far we have come. 
AND YOU'RE THE SELF-APPOINTED FONT EDITOR HERE?..nm

For the major ones, I can find stock information and all that, but I can't seem to find much on this one. Anybody know what size they are?
OK, which are better? Don't tell me, "medium size co that

mid size company
 If you wouldn't mind, I would like to get an email stating the company you work for now. I plan to stay where I am as long as I can, but I really want to have some options open if things get any worse. I am a long time MT, educated, hospital experience, at home experience, IC experience. Thanks.
The the huge size of MedQuist...
be used to once again make MQ a true leader in the medical transcriptin industry, realizing the value of all employees and the realization that a happy work force is a productive work force. 
I agree, size really does matter! :) SM
With a work force mainly at home, it just becomes unmanageable to try and run a well oiled machine and give each MT the kudos they deserve where there are so many of them. I would settle for a small company any day. They don't have the luxury of treating good employees badly. No MQ for me. As far as contributing, I would contribute mentoring and put my 35 years' experience to use bringing along the next generation. I would also do away with the 65 character line standardization initiated by AAMT (who have since stepped away from their discovery) and go back to the gross line, which is much more verifiable for billing and for paying the MT. Lastly, I would educate the powers that be that the MTs are not their cross to bear. They are, in fact, their bread and butter and they deserve a decent wage, benefits, and respect.
That's the size of a passport photo. nm

They are probably both medium size companies
No worry at present. As an IC for a mid size company...sm
I always submit my invoice using one of the accepted line counting softwares out there. Never a discrepancy on my invoice and paid in one week or less after submission of my invoice. Fortunately, I work for a company who values their MTs and pays quite fairly. I asked the question only out of curiosity. I only wanted more information regarding the MT platforms for future use. No plans on going anywhere for now, but one never knows in this industry.
People keep talking about mid size companies sm
but which are they? Keystrokes, TT? Are they mid size? That means better? I think it just depends on who you are, how much experience and what platform you end up getting and with accounts going here, there any everywhere, lots of luck.
OSI reduced header/footer size but still keeps

Basically, if size of check is enough to compensate

What are top 5 companies size-wise? MQ still largest? nm
,,
Don't be so quick to assume that a company of that size does not know the laws. sm
It can come back to bite you later on; fraud has no statute of limitations.
You need to look at the facts: Companies pay unemployment insurance in every state they have employees in. They pay whether there are claims or not. The money paid to you was money paid into a general fund, so you really didn't do anything to the company themselves. It's not like companies write a check to the unemployment division; the money comes from money paid in out of taxes. Shame on you for taking money for free when you were an IC. It is illegal, it is unethical and your name should be assact, not classact, based on the obvious ignorance you have in most areas.
By the way, most MT jobs are employee status, not IC. If you were applying for jobs every week online and offline for six months and could not get a job, the answer is simple: You need a new career because you suck.
Is there a listing anywhere that shows # of employees or size of company? nm )

Other than the obvious MQ and Spheris, what companies round out the top 10 in terms of size? sm
Which offshore out of those? I want to go with a big company for a few reasons, but I do not want MQ or Spheris. I'm also just curious. It seems like they are very big and the rest are much smaller. Am I right or just assuming? Which company or companies do you think are growing and will catch them or close? Are there any out there that have that potential? I would love to get in for chance for advancement but not ground level because I want stability. Easy to know what I want, hard to articulate it clearly. I have read previous posts, tried to research other sources and want to put together a good list for myself.
